Brussel Sprouts, Apples, and Potatoes

I find that brussel sprouts get a bad rap, but to be honest I don’t get it. I frickin’ love em. I do find that if cooked incorrectly (too long or too short of time, not enough seasoning, the wrong seasoning, etc.) they can taste like a dirty gym sock. And nobody likes mushy, dull-looking sprouts.

Brussel sprouts are considered a cruciferous vegetable (and a cancer-fighting food because of it!) that provide a good source of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and folate.


My favorite pairing is apples and apple cider vinegar (or balsamic vinegar). The sweetness from the apples and earthiness of the brussel sprouts makes for nom nom in my tum tum. If you’re looking for a little extra oomph for the dish, add some bacon. Who doesn’t love bacon? Make it thick-cut please 🙂


This is another one of my favorite one-sheet dishes that saves a ton of time during the week. This is a perfect weeknight side dish or entree (if paired with recommended bacon) that’s quick and healthy (not so healthy with the bacon, but hey all in moderation). Enjoy!
